CONFERENCE THEME

Sustainable Development: building a strong economy and environment for future generations. Rio +20 invited us to move beyond the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals. Through the collaborative efforts of non-profit organizations, businesses, industry, scientific communities, policy makers, governments, academia and individuals, we can find solutions to Earth’s most pressing issues. This year’s conference will look at building a global agenda for sustainable development. We can’t do this without you. Let us know what you think:

What can we do to make the planet habitable for future generations?

What’s your plan for reducing the effects of climate change on the most vulnerable segments of our planet?

How can developing countries eliminate extreme poverty without turning to economic practices that further harm the environment?

Will developed countries take more responsibility in their overuse of the planet’s resources and demonstrate a more sustainable example?

Your opinions, ideas and actions are needed to enhance the discussion. Join the conversation today and tell us know what you really want to know about the state of the planet: #SOP2012.
